Tori talks with Nyla about being a resilient Black woman. But pick one of us from a crowd, aren't we all? Everything she is today is because of every unfortunate situation she lived through. She lost her mother at age 11 to an aneurysm. Was then raised by her hardworking older sister who had four other children. So she became the oldest after being the baby. She met her father for the first time, to her memory, while I was in high school.
